Robert Banks, Director of Animal Genetics Breeding Unit, New England University, Australia will be speaking on ‘Strategies for ensuring breeds’ viability in the genomics era – beef breeding as an information business’ at the 2019 BCBC Conference.

The focus of Robert’s talk will be on the core principles of genomic selection for beef breeding and he will explore the strategies that breeds can adopt for optimizing data collection, including from genetic livestock research, and for turning data into relevant information for beef producers, to help them improve their breeding choices and business decision-making.
